Gransfors Bruk Sharpening Stone

Gransfors Bruk Sharpening Stone

SKU = 4034

The Gränsfors Bruk Sharpening Stone is expertly crafted using ceramic abrasive with a unique grain structure, providing superior performance for both coarse and fine grinding. The dual-sided design features a coarse, 180-grit side for repairing damage from heavy use, while the finer, 600-grit side is ideal for achieving a smooth, sharp edge. The ceramic material ensures a more precise grain size compared to natural stones, offering enhanced toughness and longevity.

Designed with a round, flattened shape and bevelled edges, the sharpening stone allows for comfortable and effective use. The fine side is slightly thicker, making up two-thirds of the stone’s thickness, as it tends to experience the most wear. It can be used with water for smoother grinding or dry for convenience.

Included is a protective rubber case, making it easy to carry and store. Gränsfors Bruk offers other sharpening products like the Diamond File and Natural Whetstone, with each product differing in material, grit size, and shape. The choice of which to use depends on personal preference.

ABOUT GRANSFORS BRUK

For more than 100 years, Gränsfors Bruk has built up a business around the production of hand-forged axes and axe knowledge.  With a main focus on quality and environmental responsibility.

AXE MODELS

We are often asked about what type of axe to choose. When selecting your axe, it becomes crucial to determine its intended purpose. Are you planning to use it for chopping wood in the forest or constructing a log house? 

The main difference between axes is the edge. Most commonly, the edge faces the direction of travel, parallel with the handle. There are also axes where the edge is perpendicular, although these are less common. Examples include Gränsfors Bruk’s Straight Adzes and Gutter Adzes.

A typical chopper is Gränsfors Bruk’s Splitting Axe, which has quite a thin edge but a much broader and thicker poll. This helps to split the wood apart. A prime example of a carving axe is Gränsfors Bruk’s Carpenter’s Axe. This has a long, thin and straight edge with a straight, pointed bevel face and a narrower poll, which makes it perfect for carving. The Carpenter’s Axe is not suitable for heavier work such as tree felling and log splitting. The pointed angle of the blade is not designed for that.

In today’s world, people primarily use axes as tools, and they can be categorized into three main groups: Forest Axes, Splitting Axes, and Log-building Axes.
